Might be because some of your 'support' think they are billy-big-spuds by having a pop at scarfers and famalies on the way to the station, rather than having a pop at those that are genuinely up for it..

Wise words of tactical criticism of the hoofing mentality of current west ham team:"We were in control of the game but what we didn’t do well enough was keep the ball and work our way up the pitch, we didn’t need to rush it or keep hitting it long."A quote from a certain Mr Samuel Allardyce Esq.

There seems a real hatred and I just don't get it? And please, don't get me wrong , I don't care either - but thought I'd try and get a straightforward answer.

It's all about players.And players who want to "hoof" it against the managers wishes it seems...

blues1875 – The reason quite simply is that a significant percentage of your fans are scum.

A lot of clubs have fans who get involved in the off-field shenanigans, ours very much included. But not many have fans that openly attack innocent fans, familys, kids etc in the name of claiming a "result". In fact I can only really think of yourselves, West Brom, Wolves, Stoke and Bristol City.

But you lot take the biscuit – it is the act of cowards and the fact you brought so few fans to Upton Park in the league encounter after the semi-final second leg last year shows just how cowardly your lot are. It is a minority, we all know that, but with Brum it is a significant minority and it is pathetic. Football-wise you will be hard pressed to find a West Ham fan that cares about you.
